I’m a finance PhD student at MIT interested in real investment, climate change, insurance, labor markets, and innovation. This is a space where I put my stuff, research and otherwise, as I move through the world. I live in Somerville with my partner and my cat, Gnocchi.
While you’re here, check out my research, my software, or my blog.

Software
